Needed to fix my rear fog on my 1988 110 station wagon
Searched all over web for info that might help and got contrasting information so I thought my findings may be useful to some one

Rear fog switch is a stalk hidden behind wiper arm

Requires headlights to be switched to driving lights not side lights to allow fogs to activate

Ignition was not required to be turned on as well as head lights

Relay, never found it but heard it clicking from behind the switch panel to the right of the steering wheel

These are tried and tested results assuming of course my 110 is standard
The fault by the way was the switch itself but only became apparent when the stalk was wriggled about whilst also having headlights on
Basic stuff I know but this is the info I would have liked to have found before I wasted half a day with a multimeter
Hope it does someone some good

Why of course !
Every 29 year old vehicle always comes complete with its user manual !


Yes and copies are available new (re-prints) and of course there are always secondhand one available on Ebay. ;)

Seriously though, the owners manual is well worth buying, not just for control operation but also for dimensions, capacities, weights, fuse layout etc etc. Whenever I have bought a secondhand vehicle I always source an owners & workshop manuals beforehand so I know what everything does even before I start looking at them.
 
I'm with @Oldseadog beers expensive :p you can usually get them on net now free, how I used em on my work ipad so not bothered about it getting oily :D
It's more finding one that matches your landy... they don't tend to follow the norm :p
 
Not sure if it is relevant but I removed both the headlight and fog light switch units and cleaned them with contact cleaner and a bit of emery...they both work fine now?
That's what I was hoping I could do but upon removal discovered it had more movement than my steering so ended up replacing the switch with an old push pull thing that luckily doesn't look out of place
Thanks for your help all the same doriz
